10/23/99 Say I can afford a driver, but my license has been suspended.
How can i register my car since i can't get insurance (no
license)?
\_ Gee, if you dont have a license, what business have you got
registering a car?
\_ um, he said he could afford a driver. can you read?
deleter guy: fu
\_ Like the motd was useful after having been run through whatever
program that was.

2/23 What are the cons to getting a Handjob?
\_ Probably a lot more disgusting than the car and the cdr
\_ HANDSPRING, YOU ASSHOLE
\_ the four week wait?
\_ anyone get a hairy palm IIIc yet? --oj
\_ anyone get a hairy palm IIIc yet?
\_ Doesn't feel as good as oral sex or intercourse.
\_ chafing.
\_ None, really. It's just the first step on the short road to having
her anyway you want. Don't be so short sighted.
\_sometimes it is the only way he can make you come. Especially
if he finishes and pulls out in under ten minutes.....

2/23 To all the CS graduates, how much do you like your job? What exactly
are you working on? Would you recommend CS? -sophomore declaring
\_ I love my job. I mostly do distributed system programming.
The only way I can recommend CS as a major is if you've tried
at least one CS class and *REALLY* enjoyed the work -- if
you're thinking of declaring CS strictly for the money, you'll
probably be pretty unhappy. -mice
\_ Agreed. If you're doing CS for the money, you're doing it
for the wrong reason. You won't make the kind of money you
hear about ("overnight millionaires") unless you truly have
a passion for it. A passion that drives you to learn more and
more and more until you truly have much Fu. Moral: Do what
excites you. --sowings
\_ gee, really? I heard some guy in a diner tell me that
his daughter was finishing her masters in CS and southern
connecticut state university so she could work in
"sillycone valley", where they pick you up in a limmo
at the airport, give you a private cook, and pay you several
hundred thousand a year automatically. "That's how
they are out in California," he told me. Shit. Sign
me up.
-lives a long way from silicon valley
\_ Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight -Dr. Evil
\_ no, really, i really heard a guy said that,
and i'm pretty sure the poor guy belived it.
\_ Not questioning whether or not he said it
but he's just not evil enough. He's the
margarine of evil. -Dr. Evil
\_ are feeling okay there? you seem a little piqued.
\_ you were confused. He was actually referring to
"Silicone Valley", where all that happens if you have
nice tits, and you show them to the right people.
Which in Grammy-speak, means "everyone".
\_ hey, I declared Chem Engineering 'for the money' and wound up
doing computer/networking work for more! -ERic
\_ I was MSME and I wound up working at Cisco. I didn't
get into networking for the money though, it was just
more interesting than Mat. Sci.. The money hasn't been
bad though. I'm not sure I would have liked CS at Cal,
since I found that the undergrad CS classes don't really
teach you CS.
\_ uh-huh...
\_ I took some of the 1xx classes and a couple of
of the 2xx (grad) classes at Cal along with several
2xx (grad) classes at Stanford and found that
the *real* stuff is taught only in the grad coures.
\_ Sure, but you like computers, ERic. I have taken classes
with CS majors who declared how much they hated computers
(and not the right-after-something-won't-compile "i hate
computers") and thought they (computers) would be the
downfall of modern civilization, but they figured they'd
make some money off them while they could. I feel a PHB
in someone's future. I wonder if I'll even want to be in
the computer industry in 5 years when all of the current
CS ugrads who are in it for the money graduate and come
looking for jobs. <sob>
\_ CS ugrads who are in it only for the money are
nothing new - they've been around for many years
\_ Maybe so, but there has been a much greater
influx of them recently. --sowings
\_ Agreed, but this is nothing that can't be
remedied with a couple of shotguns. -dans

2/24 Britney Spears didn't win. IS THERE NO GOD?
\_ THereis, but apparently he perfers mexicans.
\_ So what was Jennifer Lopez wearing last night. I heard she wasn't.
\_ You mean God prefers LATINO/LATINA artists, you
politically incorrect piece of shit -ricky martin #1 fan
\_ PC-ism started as a joke years ago. Somehow the left
which lacks any sense of humor thought it was real and
took the next step down the censorship and thought
control path. "PC" was once an insult. Now you insult
for not being PC. The world is a strange place. Excuse
me while I go purge myself of all impurities of thought
that have not yet been approve by the looney left.
\_ Jennifer Lopez is hot
\_ Forget PC, it's just plain incorrect. Ricky Martin
isn't from Mexico, he's from Menudo.
\_ Jennifer Hopez is hot
\_ So what was Jennifer Hopez wearing last night. I heard she wasn't.
\_ She didn't? Then why was she on stage accepting the award for best
new artist?
\_ best "nude" artist?
\_ Sigh. Yet another guy who can't tell the difference
between B.S. and C.Ag. Then again, is there really any
difference?
\_ Why would anyone care? It's all bubble gum noise anyway.
\_ Any pics?
\_ YES my good man: check out http://sfgate.com under entertainment.
there's an article on santana's sweep, and photos...
my goodness....=)
\_ why didn't Mandy Moore win?!
\_ Everything in here is wrong except the bits about
"thereis", "goodness....=", and "tell".
\_ bitch, just shut the fuck up!
\_ more pics, second paragraph: http://formen.ign.com/news/15674.html

2/24 What's the cheapest (reasonably reliable) place to buy components and
systems? Ive been using Hitech, but I just wanted to see what others
are using.
\_ Everything in here is wrong except the bits about
"reliable", "been", and "reasonably".

2/24 Four Q's concerning travel to Canada:
1) Approximately how long does it take to travel from the South Bay to
the Canadian?
\_ Which Canadian? There are a few already in the South Bay
so it shouldn't take too long.
\_ Anywhere from 1-2 hours to 1 year, depending on mode of
transportation and which part of the 3000-mile long border
you want to get to.
2) Any recommended airlines for a one-way flight from western Canada,
like Toronto, back to the South Bay?
\_ check United Airlines/Air Canada, they have a direct flight from
SJ to Toronto.
3) Do I need any special permits or whatsoever to drive in Canada with
a rental car from the South Bay? If so, what?
4) What car rentals from the South Bay allow returns in Canada?
\_ 2) Isn't Toronto in eastern Canada? -- yuen
\_ perhaps he means Vancouver? that's a long drive otherwise.
\_ Everything in here is wrong except the bits about
"concerning", "special", and "four".
\_ you don't need a special permit to drive a car registered in
America in Canada, don't even bother changing your currency over
to the inferior Canadian dollar; you're an American, damnit!! and
can force them to accecpt the good old American greenback
\_ sure, in principle, but some places will try to rip you off by
taking US money dollar-for-dollar against Canadian prices. Check
if your credit card automatically exchanges currency. -ex-canuck
\_ You can drive there fast, cause we PAVED THE BITCH. -John
